Ankle lock of course. The bazillion different situations Kurt could lock it in from were always great to watch.

There are so many variations of this but I feel Kevin Nash's powerbomb just looked so sick and good.

I actually thought Big Lazy was just about the worst exponent of the powerbomb tbf. Always seemed like he was offering the smallest amount of support possible & then just basically dropped his opponent & let them do the rest of the work. That time he almost killed the Giant in WCW was sickening.

Yeah, maybe I should have said Diesel there.

^ This guy. Better than Nash at it imo, but most of his powerbombs were pretty weaksauce most of the time anyway.

Its a very basic and easy to protect finisher. Very 90s and 80s I guess but I love seeing a good powerbomb being delivered

It's completely a prank wrestling move, but I'll go with Canadian Destroyer.

The cricket/mafia/wrestling nerd overlap here is so weird and specific

Everyone kicks out of basically everything these days so

Stan Hansen's Western lariat.

I'm sure we will see a few superkicks in here but of all the kick finishers from recent years I'd have to say the ones I've enjoyed the most are

Aleister Black's Black Mass

Sami Zayn's Helluva Kick

or
Dakota Kai's Kaio Kick

Oh god, someone post the It hurts so bad gif

Hah I was just thinking about this last evening while watching Shane Warne's top 50 dismissals in Australia. The way the comms kept hyping his flipper reminded me of how old-school WWF comms used to mark out over the DDT.

The Razor's Edge used to look very painful. Conversely, Nash's Jackknife looked lazy.
I used to practice Crush/Bryan Adams' skull-crusher on my little neighbor. Very effective.
Bret Hart's sharp-shooter/The Sheik's Camel Clutch can be excruciating (with apologies to the originators). Same with the ankle lock.
Bob Backlund's Chicken Wing can make you feel like your arm's gonna come off.
The Stone Cold Stunner

Also, the olden sit-down-between-the-legs piledriver.

It's sad that moves like the stunner are now just used as transition spots tbh

Superkicks another move that have been totally devalued as well

From current guys, I like the Phenomenal Forearm:

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Stan Hansen's Western lariat.

This is why the Rainmaker sucks btw.

The worst for me is 619
